“An abnormal reaction to an abnormal situation is normal behavior.”
― Victor Frankl, Man's Search For Ultimate Meaning

“But there was no defeating evil unless people had hope. There was no going forward unless folk held on to their belief that the future could be bright, that a lamp of goodness could still shine in this realm of darkness and despair. And, although it would be far easier to curl up and hide, as many of the Good Folk had done, there would never be change unless people were prepared to take risks, to step forward and fight for a better world.”
― Juliet Marillier, The Caller

“Perhaps adventures could be for ladies of a certain age, ladies who might have reached a point in their lives when they had quietly given up on the world beyond their kitchen garden as being a place for them to explore. Perhaps adventures were ready and available to anyone and everyone who was willing to take one on.”
― Quenby Olson, Miss Percy's Travel Guide to Welsh Moors and Feral Dragons

“And there is a greater magic; a power that comes from the very land we tread, from ocean and forest, from the deepest cavern to the high pathways of sun and moon. When the path ahead seems dark and difficult, when you cannot find the right way, call on that power to guide you, for within each of us, even the smallest, there is a spark of that great fire.”
― Juliet Marillier, The Harp of Kings
